A CPO vehicle is a pre-owned car that features a warranty similar to a brand-new car. As a matter of fact, in some instances, a CPO vehicle could have a longer warranty than when the vehicle was brand-new. On the other hand, other dealerships may offer vehicles that they ‘certify’, but it is just a play on words. Those dealers could offer a certification process on pre-owned cars, but it’s not truly the same. A true Certified Pre-Owned car is subjected to a specific and strict inspection, provides new car security, and boasts perks like lower financing options. The singular way to purchase a true CPO vehicle is from a dealership backed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Reliability is the biggest benefit of buying a CPO vehicle. Most Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles are specifically chosen because they are accident-free, have low mileage, and are in better condition than the normal used car. Once determined to be a potential CPO vehicle, it will be subjected to a meticulous inspection. If the inspection procedure finds any issues, those concerns are fixed before the car can be certified. Once a vehicle is certified, it gets an extended warranty to protect the owner from issues in the future.
Another benefit of buying a CPO vehicle is you get a car, truck, SUV, or minivan that appears new, drives perfectly, and has a warranty, just without the new-car price. A CPO car is typically one of the best buys on the pre-owned market because the new-car depreciation has already occurred. While you might be able to get a 3rd party warranty on most vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned warranty is both more comprehensive and also more cost-effective.
There are extra benefits of buying a CPO car. Most CPO cars, trucks, SUVs, and minivans qualify for lower financing rates and also longer loan terms. In the rare event that your CPO vehicle breaks down, complimentary roadside assistance is another possible advantage (and they may even have a complimentary loaner vehicle waiting). Prepaid maintenance options, a complimentary trial of satellite radio, and trip insurance are other perks that might be available.
